Throughout our service, we focus on nurturing personal growth, fostering independence, and enhancing overall well-being through holistic, evidence-based strategies.
Our practitioners engage in a sensory-rich, emotionally nurturing, and collaborative approach when delivering services. We leverage evidence-based methodologies to develop personalised behaviour support plans that draw from the latest findings in neuroscience and the polyvagal theory, ensuring our strategies are tailored to your unique needs.
Our dedicated behaviour support team has received extensive training to ensure the safe delivery of services.
We work closely with you to create a customised behaviour support plan that aligns with your goals, and we provide continuous support to help you and your support network to effectively implement this plan.
As part of our services, we conduct thorough Behaviour Support Assessments, including functional behaviour assessments (FBAs) and biopsychosocial assessments. To ensure a holistic approach, we also utilise a variety of assessments such as the WHO Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS), the Health of Nation Outcome Scales (HoNAS), and many more.
The insights gained from these assessments support us in crafting a support letters to advocate for crucial NDIS funding.

This means that we are approved by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) to deliver behaviour support (formerly known as positive behaviour support services) and many other support services to a wide range of NDIS participants, including those with NDIA-managed funding.
